We performed a comparison between Arctic Wolf Managed Risk and Rapid7 Metasploit based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them."
"The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently."
"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users."
"We get access to quarterly reviews with their team."
"We have a patch management solution that scans for any patches that can be applied and then applies these patches, but it doesn't hit everything. It also doesn't find all misconfigurations and things like that. Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there. It does an agent scan for software versions and compares them to what CVs are out there and lets us know."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It contains almost all the available exploits and payloads."
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"Rapid7 Metasploit is a useful product."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has."
"The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."
"The best way to take this product to the next level would be to implement a patch management solution."
"As far as the product is concerned, I would really like the scanning feature to let us know that a threat has been addressed once we apply the relevant patch. We are not seeing this currently when running a scan."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations."
"The scalability could improve."
"It could be easier to use. They could present things in a little bit more ranked order rather than kind of giving you everything out there. It should highlight the really important stuff and make it easier to get to good rather than perfect."
"The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
"The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better."
"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
